Thinking Modes - Spectral, Fractal, ...

I while back I posted on Spectral Thinking. There are numbers of other who are also talking about spectral thinking - 1, 2, 3, .. Continuing the exploration of the modes of thinking, it occurred to me that there is also fractal thinking. This notion was brought on by reading this post. The basic notion that I got from the post is that we are victoms (in a sense) of propaganda machines such as religions, current education systems, cultural myths, ... And that these narratives keep us in an unhealthy geometry of being.

Just as spectral thinking moves us from binary categories to gradients with some form of distribution across that gradient, fractal thinking is about seeing the same pattern at different scales of existence / being. The geometry of one up / one down scales all the way from sub-atomic particles to our behaviors. When two particles unite, each gives up some of its properties. Typically, one side gives up more than the other. When atoms combine to form molecules by sharing electrons, losing electrons, ..., one atom gives up and changes more than the other. These forms of "inequality" are a fractal pattern at different scales of existence.
